Solberg narrows the gap again...

Petter Solberg was the pace-setter though Saturday’s final ’proper’ stage of Wales Rally GB, narrowing the gap on overall leader Sebastien Loeb to just 4.6 seconds after 281.6km of furious competition.

As darkness fell, the Norwegian completed the second run though Halfway 2.1sec quicker than Loeb, and with just the Cardiff Bay Superspecial to run tonight, the scene is set for a thrilling fight for victory on Sunday.

More than one minute behind the duelling Citroens, Ford driver Mikko Hirvonen pulled 2.5seconds further ahead of his chasing team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala to take a cushion of 9.3 seconds into the Superspecial. Dani Sordo rounded off the top five times in his Citroen Junior Team C4 WRC.

We’ll bring you quotes from the leading drivers and a run down of today’s competition in our end of day wrap.
